The Eagles Golf Club - Forest

The Forest course is my favorite at the eagles. The conditions aren’t perfect, but overall seems to be in better shape than the lakes course. The layout of the different holes are great and require some thought to get around. Love playing this course, especially in the afternoon when pace of play usually is not an issue. I played as a twosome at 3:00PM and finished by 6:30PM

The greens were atrocious. Probably the worst greens that I have played on in Tampa. Greens have large bare dirt spots on almost all holes not to mention trying to navigate around all the huge grass and weed spots on the greens.

The course had a nice layout. A little scruffy in spots but overall challenging but playable. A lot of water for a course named the Forest. I would play it again.

Money hungry! Course is definitely overbooked so be prepared to wait at every hole.

The reason that I say that is because on the day we played there was a outing on the Lakes course ,shotgun start at 1:00 so the players on the lakes course that did not get to play out their 18 holes came to the Forest course and backed up the tee times for the rest of us so we not only got a late start we could only get in 13 holes ' because of 3 or 4 groups on most holes . I feel this is poor management of the course by booking too many players on the Lakes course that could not finish there 18 holes and also most of us that had tee times around 1pm could not get carts until after our tee time, So check before you book there !

Course and greens in rough shape. Definitely needs some love and money put into it.

HORRIFIC pace of play. We teed off > 40 minutes past our tee time. Cart wasn’t available for our tee time. Thankfully we had only signed up and paid for 9 holes, because those nine holes took us, a twosome shooting at or just over par on the front 9 > 2.5 hours.

Some cool holes but greens are really bad and fairways like hitting off dirt. Some greens have spray paint to cover up the dirt . Staff is very friendly.

Somehow they didn’t have enough carts, so everyone’s tee time was delayed by at least an hour. Course books too many tee times too close together which really hurts golfer satisfaction.

Round took over 5 hours, areas was nice, greens not in great shape. I will play the excutive course the next 2 weeks I am in Clearwater because pace of play.

It's a beautiful design, the fairways and teeboxes are in good shape, but most of the greens were in rough shape - bare spots, crabgrass, areas of some sort of fungal infection. Pretty disappointing. No rakes for the Sandtraps, esp fairway bunkers.

Course has a great layout, staff is excellent, green are terrible, 3 different kinda of grass, big chuncks missing here and there, uneven cut hard to roll at all.
